Abstract Organizations invest in different types of resources, which enable them to achieve and maintain their market position and remain competitive. With global competition and changing market environment, one of the key resources, which considerably contributes to improvement of organizations’ competitive posture, are human resources, i.e. employees. The subject of research presented in this paper are factors of employees’ motivation. The aim of the research is to determine the impact of certain factors on employee motivation, based on the importance that different motivation factors have, depending on certain personal and professional characteristics of employees. Based on the results of the survey, the most important factors of motivation are financial factors, specifically the “salary” and “financial rewards”, as well as “job security” as non-financial factor. The variance of repeated measurements showed that there is statistically significant influence of financial motivation factors on employee motivation. However, the results of the analysis of the variance indicate that it is necessary to find the appropriate combination of financial and non-financial motivators, having in mind different characteristics and needs of employees, in order for the employee motivation system to show the expected results.

Abstract Implementation of IT innovations in insurance industry enhances actual business models and creates new ones. E-insurance refers to creating and providing insurance and connected financial services through digital solutions. In this paper the impact of IT usage and digitalization on insurance sector in the Republic of Serbia is analysed. The aim of the proposed analysis is to reveal the determinants of the adoption of innovative technological solutions in insurance in the Republic of Serbia. Relying on the TOE framework, three groups of factors influencing the adoption of IT in e-insurance are identified: technological, organizational and environmental. Panel data approach and logistic regression are used to examine the effects of proposed factors on e-insurance adoption. The obtained results indicate that organizational and environmental factors have statistically significant influence on the achieved level of e-insurance adoption, while only the market share of the insurance company positively influences the odds of e-insurance adoption. Therefore, it can be concluded that e-insurance in the Republic of Serbia is the matter of reputation and tendency of insurers to achieve short-term gains and a competitive advantage through innovation.

Abstract Working capital management (WCM) plays a significant role in company’s operations. The aim of this research is to explain how working capital management affects profitability of Serbian companies measured by ROA indicator. In order to answer the question, a quantitative analysis of working capital management was performed on a sample of 79 companies in the field of manufacturing industry from the territory of the Republic of Serbia. All the companies were listed on the Belgrade Stock Exchange in business year 2019. Analysis was performed via Spearman’s correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression. The results of the research show that there is a negative and statistically significant correlation between profitability and accounts receivable turnover in days (ART), accounts payable turnover in days (APT) and inventory turnover in days (IT). On the other hand, it was found that there is no statistically significant correlation between cash conversion cycle in days (CCC) and profitability. The issue of working capital management has not been sufficiently examined in the territory of the Republic of Serbia and it is difficult to determine which theoretical knowledge about working capital is true, which emphasizes the importance of research on this subject.

Abstract This study aims at examining the extent to which the exchange rate impacts on balance of payments in Algeria (BoP) during the period 1980-2019, using the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and the Error Correction Model (ECM). This approach tests the presence of a long-run relationship between the variables.A set of relevant variables, in addition to exchange rate, were used to include real interest rate, oil price, GDP per capita, Government expenditure, and inflation rate, based on previous studies of the subject. The results indicate the existance of a long-run equilibrium relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The exchange rate has a negative impact on the balance of payments in the short-run.

Abstract Profitability is substantial for any firm to maintain business and enable long-term sustainability. Firms’ decision on indebtedness and capital structure have influence on potentials for prosperity, growth, and development. This study aims to find a new empirical evidence on the influence of debt (debt ratio and debt to equity ratio) on firm profitability (ROA), with application to 50 non-financial firms with highest revenues in Serbia in 2019 during 2016-2019 using multiple ordinary least squares regression model. After control for size, liquidity and tangibility of assets, the results find statistically significant correlation and negative influence of debt ratio and capital structure on firm profitability.

Abstract The main goal of the research is to consider and compare the importance of fruits and vegetables in external trade in goods of the Republic of Serbia. According to the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), “Vegetables and Fruit” is a division that is dominant in Serbian exports of agricultural and food products, and it is necessary to investigate its competitiveness. The key tools used in the analysis are the coverage of imports by exports, then the Contribution to the Trade Balance (CTB) index, as well as the analysis of unit values of exports and imports, in order to compare and evaluate the structure of external trade in fruits and vegetables. The results show that fruit, according to all indicators, has a significantly higher competitiveness compared to vegetables, as well as a higher importance in external trade of goods. This knowledge can serve the creators of agricultural policy to favour the production and exports of fruit products because they can radically improve the structure of total exports, especially when it comes to processed products. Since this is a perennial plantation, the results cannot be expected in a shorter period of time. The previous research has not specifically considered the importance of this segment of agri-food exports and its internal competitiveness (having in mind the applied indicators), which is the main benefit of the study within this paper.

Abstract The subject of the research in this paper was the examination of satisfaction with the internal communication dimensions that have the strongest correlations with job satisfaction, which are: supervisor communication and personal feedback. Therefore, if employees are satisfied with these communication dimensions, their job satisfaction will be at a satisfactory level. The goal of the research was to determine satisfaction with the observed communication dimensions based on the employees’ attitudes. Managers’ and non-managerial employees’ attitudes towards the observed communication dimensions are presented, also. On the sample of 72 respondents, using descriptive statistics, the results have shown that the employees are not satisfied with the observed dimensions, also, the non-managerial employees are less satisfied than the managerial ones. The results are useful since they provide a description of the observed dimensions and findings of the previous studies, especially the ones which investigated the relationship between satisfaction with the observed communication dimensions and job satisfaction. The results may be useful for (Serbian) managers in the process of managing the observed communication dimensions. The sample size limits the generalizability of the result.

Abstract According to the impact, infectious diseases are a critical risk for 2020 and the following years in the Global Risk Report. The realization of the Covid-19 virus set the pandemic as a crucial global risk for humans, the economy, and society. The main idea of this paper is to give insight into the global socio-economic consequences of the actual Covid-19 pandemic, with a specific view of the business of insurance and reinsurance companies, who are responding to the widening of the COVID-19 pandemic on multiple fronts—as claims payers, employers, and investment managers. Considering that both individuals and businesses face high costs and losses regarding disruption of travel, business interruption, and supply chains, many expect insurers to reimburse some of these costs and losses. Insurance companies are also significant investors in financial markets and will face losses due to equity and fixed income market losses regarding decreasing interest rates as an attempt of central banks worldwide to support their economies. The current crisis can also be considered the possibility of improving the insurance coverage related to pandemics by establishing (re)insurance schemes and pooling arrangements for other catastrophic risks and developing public-private partnerships to support the insurability of pandemic risk.

Abstract Globalization is a process often identified with the economic integration of countries, the creation of a single market while neglecting other aspects of globalization. Besides its economic dimension, The KOF index of globalization includes the social and political dimensions. One of the questions is how the countries manage to strengthen their competitive position in the international market in the age of globalization. Is it challenging to maintain a stable competitive position in the conditions of greater connection of countries and in what form? For this reason, the paper deals with the change of the Global Competitiveness Index, a renowned measure of the competitiveness of national economies according to the methodology of the World Economic Forum, under the influence of increased economic globalization of Southeast European countries. It also estimates the impact of globalization, or its economic, social and political dimension on the economic growth of Southeast European countries, which is one of the requirements for successful positioning on the international economic scene.
